It is to be noted that if Stoneheimer is an all male academy, in contrast, the Isolde Academy is an all female one.

The third row is for Mystic Gate, Sacred Peak and Abuxorth Academy. The last row of tables would be for Odrexelts, Honeysuckle and Neon Academy.

As the ceremony begins, the emcee introduced a middle age man representing the Ministry of Magic Education, the organiser of the event.

It is Hayden Fraser, one of movers and shakers in the industry of magic. He walked and stood at the center stage and observed the crowd for a moment before starting his speech.

"Good evening students of the twelve prestigious magic academies of our country."

All the students including Wallace looked at the new speaker at the stage upon hearing the name that was called out, mostly of them weren't aware of the man's apperance but surely as a magician, they are aware of the name Hayden Fraser.

He is the first and oldest enneadic magician or someone who could use 9 mana artifact at the same time. He alone could fight an army with this ability as not only his capability to use nine mana artifact was outstanding but also his abundant mana pool that could sustain such draining number of mana artifact.

Hayden Fraser continued his speech as the students gawked at his presence.

"It is wonderful to see you all tonight! I know that many of you have struggled very hard in order to make it here and neither storms nor distance could stop you. I am not surprised. You are magicians and you can't be stopped. You made it because you are strong enough!

This event that has been ongoing for 17 years will help you establish useful connections, which is not our only goal. By providing this extensive match on magic engineering and combat, we want you to learn a lot more about the things that academy could not teach you. I hope that after this compet.i.tion you will be able to build even better mana artifact or appreciate every single artifact being created for its usefulness, be involved more in combat training, or upgrade your existing magic combat strategy."

As the students listened to Hayden, comments from some students are being softly whispered as they appreciated his presence.

"To think that I'd meet such a legendary magician here. I'm really lucky."

"He doesn't look to be in his fifties, he looked just like my father."

"What? I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Anyway with such abundant mana pool nurturing his body, he'll maybe live for hundreds of years."

"Haha.. As if."

Apparently, it wasn't every time that such an amazing figure would do the opening ceremony speech in this compet.i.tion. Hayden continued on his speech.

"Today the Twelve Magic Academies Compet.i.tion had some changes on it's rules. We have developed better management as the quality of education improved and students have grown faster individually. We grow together and we must never forget that it is good to win trophy but what is much greater is to make friends.

"That's right, there will be rivalry, but keep in mind that although you arrived here as compet.i.tors, you will leave as friends.

I hereby, on behalf of the Ministry of Magic Education, invite the Bailiff of Cavalen, Ms Aurelia Powell to officially open the Twelve Magic Academies Compet.i.tion."

After this, everyone had their meal eaten and aimed to socialize with other students after. Friends and rivals met at this gathering. Most 3rd years here were already old partic.i.p.ants as they could be seen a.s.sociating with different academies.

Wallace with some other first year is just seated on their table, he was actually tempted to activate Divine Sense when Hayden Fraser was speaking but stopped himself as he was worried that it will be detected by the latter.

In his previous experimentation on this skill, powerful magician could detect his a.n.a.lysing skill or Divine Sense but could not pinpoint where it was coming from. He was worried that if he tried it to Hayden, he'll be detected and won't be able to explain.

"I'll probably have to create some other detecting tool. Ahh.. right, there should be something similar to it that has already been created."

Wallace murmured on his seat and Tracy heard a part of it.

"What would you use that for? You have plans on peeking to someone?"

"No, don't put it like I plan on doing something bad."

"Oh, Wallace.. You have some devious plan again? Your plan or strategy in this artifact forging compet.i.tion is already quite underhanded, so you have thought another plan?"

Ross b.u.t.ted in the conversation though not fully aware of Tracy and Wallace conversation.

"Hey, don't call those devious. That's strategy and we won't even know if it will be effective in the compet.i.tion."

Wallace defended himself from Ross accusation. As he noticed that the instructors of academies left and gone to their own reception leaving students on their own device, he started scanning all the students in the room.

As he started scanning everyone, he noted some remarkable mana fluctuations. Apparently, with his activation of Divine Sense, there's only 7 people who has felt something on their end and tried looking where those scanning magic came from.

The seven people felt the Divine Sense but took a while before noticing. The quickest one to notice is Kyla Rogers from the Mystic Gate Academy. Then another female, Avery Marshall from Isolde followed by Hector Newman from Stoneheimer.

Those first 3 students only took between 5-8 seconds before noticing Divine Sense. After the three was Aria Scott and Vanessa White that is both from Skywalker Academy.

The last two would be Nyla Lawson from Odrexelts Academy and surprisingly Hilda Calem from Leonhearts Academy.

"To think that Hilda has improved a lot in the month of training prior to the compet.i.tion."

Wallace was a.n.a.lysing all the information that his Divine Sense returned to him.

"Hmm.. Although she took more than 10 seconds to notice, it was such an amazing improvement compared to before. Also, Hilda's mana fluctuation is still way stronger than the six, the only problem is that it seems that she will be having difficulty in controlling this mana unlike those other six who has such a refined mana fluctuations."
